Introduction

GNU Screen, or "screen", is a window management program available on UMIACS UNIX hosts that splits a terminal into multiple windows that can each be used for a separate process. This can be very useful when a process will be running for a long time since it can be allocated to one of the virtual terminals created by screen, and the others can be used for other shell tasks.
